Hit: 5 Stars
Somehow Betty Harris escaped my attention for 52 years. My bad. Her voice is positively drenched with emotion, and this collection is solid. She could hold her own with Mavis and Ann Peebles, and even Aretha, who, it must be admitted benefitted from the very best material. Shoot, this disc is worth buying just for the amazing starter, "Cry Baby," which I am now trying to convince my 5-year-old to adopt as her torch song. Maybe someday my girl can grow up to be a lost soul queen, too!
Because I was not familiar with Betty, she isn't stale. (I admit I can hardly stand to hear the old Aretha, no insult intended. I've just heard her too much. The Supremes? Forget it!) While the production technology is not up to contemporary standards, it certainly doesn't get in the way of the emotion -- it's basic black. In fact, it may be a good thing that it is raw. Imagine how much of the power of James Brown lies in the fact that his rough edges weren't trimmed off by the likes of Clive Davis or Tommy Mottola. If there is justice -- and there isn't, of course -- Betty Harris's music will endure long after Mariah Carey and Joss Stone are forgotten.
Amazon takes you on a sort of lost soul queen treasure hunt. If you find one then up pop recommendations for another 2 or three. And listening to the song samples, they sound pretty good. But none sounds better than Betty, and it is a joy to listen to the real thing instead of the slick, mechanized product of today. We need fewer American Idols and more rediscovered soul queens.

This collection of Allen Toussaint-produced works includes recordings from Jubilee Sansu and SSS International also featuring two rare bonus tracks with Lee Dorsey. Harris?s very first Jubilee release, Cry to Me, entered Billboard?s pop Top 40 in 1963 and became the biggest seller of her career!Pop Music CDs
